11-08-28 For the first time, scientists can see pathways to stop a deadly brain cancer in its tracks. Researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have imaged individual cancer cells and the routes they travel as the tumor spreads. The r...

11-07-29 A scientist at the Gladstone Institutes has discovered a novel way to convert human skin cells into brain cells, advancing medicine and human health by offering new hope for regenerative medicine and personalized drug discovery and development. In a...

11-07-20 How is it that a disc-like cluster of cells transforms within the first month of pregnancy into an elongated（细长的） embryo? This mechanism is a mystery that man has tried to unravel（解决，阐明） for millennia. The first significant step towards...

11-07-19 Oncogenes（致癌基因） are generally thought to be genes that, when mutated, change healthy cells into cancerous tumor cells. Scientists at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have proven that those genes also c...

11-07-10 Oh, the challenges of being a neuron, responsible for essential things like muscle contraction, gland secretion（分泌物） and sensitivity to touch, sound and light, yet constantly bombarded with signals from here, there and everywhere. How on earth...

11-06-26 Scientists from the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), an institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), in collaboration with the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI), have discovered how the body uses a single comm...

11-06-15 Scientists at Harvard University have created a laboratory model using time-lapse（延时的） video microscopic technology that allows observation of early stages of ovarian cancer metastasis. We were able to observe key molecular mechanisms that are...

11-06-12 Cells grow abundant when oxygen is available, and generally stop when it is scarce. Although this seems straightforward（简单的，坦率的） , no direct link ever has been established between the cellular machinery that senses oxygen and that which con...

11-06-03 While it is already known that breast cancer cells create the conditions for their own survival by communicating their needs to the healthy cells that surround them, Australian researchers have identified a new way of turning off that cellular cross...

11-04-26 In a paper published in the April 25 early online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco and colleagues rep...
